Oh, I see how town hall meetings work.
Seems as though Sen. John McCain can't take the same exact crap that the
conservatives are dolling out in droves at town hall meetings. He held one, and ONE protester started yelling. He had the protester thrown out. But it's just great is there's a liberal speaking and 20 or so conservatives do exactly the same thing!!! Conservative = good Liberal = bad Let the spinning begin! http://www.comcast.net/articles/news...ain.Town.Hall/ |

Conservative = good Liberal = bad Let the spinning begin! http://www.comcast.net/articles/news...ain.Town.Hall/ Looks like it's mostly old folks speaking up and causing a ruckus. Most didn't vote for Obama. Thing is, those drawing Medicare are taking out 3-4 dollars for every dollar they contributed. Budget can't handle it. Some might call them deadbeats, but I sure won't. I''m due for that gov Medicare teat myself in a couple years. Sure as hell don't want the children and grandchildren stealing that from me. What's wrong with kids these days? Unbelievable how selfish they are trying to steal from old folks. Lucky I'll be dead when the bills come due. That'll teach 'em. --Vic |

Who forced them out of the workforce? Most didn't vote for Obama. With age comes wisdom. Thing is, those drawing Medicare are taking out 3-4 dollars for every dollar they contributed. Budget can't handle it. Get rid of Medicare and Social Security. Maybe the greatest generation can take another one for the team. Some might call them deadbeats, but I sure won't. Why not. All they did was pay in for their entire working lives. They were promised a benefit. The problem is that FDR and Johnson didn't expect them to live long enough to collect it. I''m due for that gov Medicare teat myself in a couple years. Enjoy the taste. Sure as hell don't want the children and grandchildren stealing that from me. What's wrong with kids these days? Unbelievable how selfish they are trying to steal from old folks. Lucky I'll be dead when the bills come due. That'll teach 'em. And you complained about me getting mine while the kids could appreciate it. At least my children will remember their first car. The one that they overpaid and I underpaid. |

I don't think there's much of a requirement to get Medicare. Eligible for SS I think. A year delivering pizza might do. I''m due for that gov Medicare teat myself in a couple years. Enjoy the taste.

The one that they overpaid and I underpaid. I thought I complimented you about being honest when you admitted you took taxpayer handout money. Thought that was commendable. Don't know anything about gov money for cars. Never did anything like that. Made sure all my kids got a job and bought their own cars. They paid for licensing and insurance too. I did seed them $2500 each. All seven of them. Some got more car help when in college, but I made them squeeze it out of me. Discipline. And I'm a tight SOB with car bucks. That's how I could retire at 59. And why I drive a '90 Corsica and '97 Lumina. Mind you, I'm not saying anything about how to raise kids, or criticizing you. Just telling my kids/car experience. But I got a real strong feeling they all remember their first car. Doesn't everybody? Now I'm not saying I wouldn't take that gov money if it fit into my car buying plans. Sure would. After all, I'm an entrepreneur at heart, and a proud American like you. Whether you're hustling drugs on a street corner, playing Wall Street Roulette, working a 9-5 or taking gov car money, you're most often doing it for that portrait of George Washington. A buck is a buck. No reason to get huffy about it. Just have to see clearly. --Vic |

The Mail Handler folks suggested I keep theirs *and* sign up for Medicare - pay twice in other words. I ended up going with Medicare, without the Mail Handlers. Luckily, my military service entitled me to Tricare, which becomes a supplemental to Medicare and picks up the left over 20%. Of course, this makes some here jealous as hell.
